Follow these steps to set up a printer port monitor:

1.  To register listen service 0, type pmadm -a -p tcp -s 0 -i root -m 'nlsadmin -c /usr/lib/saf/nlps_server -A 'xmodified_address '' -v 'nlsadmin -V' and press Return. The port monitor is configured to listen for requests from listen service 0.

2.  To receive print requests from SunOS 5.0 print clients, type pmadm -a -p tcp -s lp -i root -m 'nlsadmin -o /var/spool/lp/fifos/listenS5' -v 'nlsadmin -V' and press Return. The port monitor is configured to listen for requests from listenS5, which registers print requests from SunOS 5.x print clients.

3.  To receive print requests from SunOS 4.x print clients, type pmadm -a -p tcp -s lpd -i root -m 'nlsadmin -o /var/spool/lp/fifos/listenBSD -A 'xaddress'' -v 'nlsadmin -V' and press Return. The port monitor is configured to listen for requests from listenBSD, which registers print requests from SunOS 4.x print clients.

4.  Type cat /var/saf/tcp/log and press Return. Examine the messages displayed to make sure that the services are enabled and initialized. In this example, all three network listen services are registered:

# lpsystem -A
ØØØ2Ø2Ø3819418ØeØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØ
# pmadm -a -p tcp -s lp -i root -m `nlsadmin -o
